Pedagogy is as important to training resources as it is to educational resources and it is often impossible to tell the difference between the two types. And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. I suspect that the same will apply to advanced degrees and IDs.
